XI Sigma Pi was founded in 1908 at the University of Washington. Since its beginning, 43 chapters have been founded around the world.

Membership in the Society is open to all undergraduate and graduate students at Michigan Tech in a forest resources management curriculum.
ALL MAJORS WELCOME!

Students must meet high academic standards (3.0 GPA) as well as desirable personality traits (honesty, leadership, dependability, willingness to cooperate).

Society membership may include faculty members, student members, and associate members.

Application for membership is by invitation only.

To become a member, pledges most go through a week long initiation of making a wooden plaque and obtain the signature of local current Xi Pi members. Initiation is culminated by a free dinner, traditionally at Quincy's.

XI Sigma Pi is a service organization that provides tutoring in classes at the School of Forest Resources and Environmental Science. If you would like to meet for a private session contact: Jillian Schubert - jrschube@mtu.edu

XI Pi also runs the School Library in Room G003 with resource books in a variety of subjects that can be checked out anytime.

XI Sigma Pi also host the annual Symposium. The symposium offers a time for the public, students and resource professionals to get together and discuss an important topic. Symposium is important for all resource managers to explore new areas, technologies or problems facing them.
